Xu Mu looked at Mu Qingying's nervous expression and frowned. "If someone is threatening you, just blink."
"I'm not being threatened by anyone. This is all my own choice."
In that short span of time, Mu Qingying had experienced tremendous ups and downs.
After resigning from the school, she became a CEO. Whether it was the teachers she was close to or those she merely knew in passing, everyone started congratulating her, each one saying nicer things than the last.
When the company went bankrupt, those same people vanished.
At the time when Mu Qingying needed money the most, she couldn't borrow a single cent from any of them.
In the end, it was Xu Mu—her so-called enemy—who helped her through the crisis.
"I'm a married man."
Xu Mu pushed aside Mu Qingying's hand.
"Stop pretending. Feng Yue already told me that she's your woman too. Besides, my father said that someone from a hidden family like yours can marry more than one."
Mu Qingying spoke beside Xu Mu.
Xu Mu cursed under his breath. That Feng Yue was asking for a beating again, spilling everything she knew.
"So what's your goal?"
Xu Mu turned to Mu Qingying and asked.
"I've made up my mind. As long as you treat me sincerely, I'll be your woman and fulfill the fantasies you once had about me."
Mu Qingying sneaked a glance at Xu Mu and spoke in a low voice.
"Mu Qingying, I think you're a bit too full of yourself."
Xu Mu pushed her away and stood up from the sofa.
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Mu Qingying looked at Xu Mu first, then cleared her throat. "Come in."
The office door opened, and a woman in a uniform entered carrying some documents.
When she saw Xu Mu, she lowered her head. "CEO."
As an employee there, she naturally knew that the company had a new CEO.
The people in the finance department had originally thought the company was finished, but it turned out Xu Mu had known his limits.
Realizing he wasn't up to the task, he had brought in two highly capable vice presidents.
"What's the matter?"
Mu Qingying sat back in her executive chair.
"These are the documents you asked me to prepare."
The woman quickly walked to the desk across from Mu Qingying and placed the files on the table.
Seeing this, Xu Mu waved at Mu Qingying. "You get to work."
With that, he left and pushed open the door to Feng Yue's office.
Feng Yue was sitting in her executive chair, snacking on junk food while watching a short drama on her computer.
When she noticed Xu Mu come in, she immediately smiled and stood up. "Boss, what brings you here?"
"I came to check on your work progress. You're living the good life as a CEO—doing nothing at all."
Xu Mu walked over to Feng Yue and sat down in her chair.
Smack!
He slapped her on her most appealing spot.
"Boss~"
Feng Yue shot Xu Mu a sideways glance. "We're at the office. Why so impatient?"
[Affection +10]
"Impatient my ass! What did you tell Mu Qingying?"
Xu Mu glared at Feng Yue.
"I... I didn't say much. I just mentioned I'm your woman too."
Feng Yue crouched beside Xu Mu and rested her cheek on his lap. "I did this all for you, helping you make the move."
"Fat chance!"
Xu Mu had his own code of conduct. Once he was involved with someone, he considered them his woman.
But now, as his strength grew, he naturally needed to be selective.
For instance, which female leads had higher cultivation talent and better destiny ratings.
He couldn't just take every female lead and add them to his harem—there were too many from so many male leads' stories to manage.
As a good boss, he had to give his brothers some days off each month.
Besides, raising the cultivation of so many people also came with a significant cost.
Mu Qingying was a prime example.
If he really took her, his nature would compel him to bring her up to the level of Ye Tong and the others.
"Alright, I won't say anything next time, okay?"
As Feng Yue spoke, she suddenly reached for his divine weapon, ready to strike.
Xu Mu's eyes narrowed. For someone he wasn't close to, like Shi Fumeng, he would definitely refuse, but Feng Yue was a different story.
Just then, there was another knock at the office door.
Feng Yue jerked in surprise and quickly hid under the desk.
Xu Mu leaned closer to the desk and said calmly, "Come in."
A young woman in a uniform entered respectfully. "CEO? Where's Vice President Feng?"
"She..."
Xu Mu was about to speak, then frowned. That Feng Yue really deserved a pill as a reward.
Hard work should always be recognized.
"She stepped out to take a call. What do you need?"
"For a signature."
The woman handed over a contract.
Xu Mu replied with a straight face, "Leave it here. I'll tell her when she gets back. You can go now."
"Alright."
The woman placed the contract on the desk and left.
Xu Mu let out a breath. This Feng Yue was really bold—she had even made him nervous.
Just as he was about to call her out, there was another knock at the door.
Xu Mu checked with his perception and cursed under his breath. "Damn it?"
It was none other than Mu Qingying.
"Feng Yue..."
The moment Xu Mu called out her name, the office door swung open and Mu Qingying walked in.
"I knew you'd be here."
Mu Qingying approached Xu Mu.
"You really treat this place like home, huh? Even Feng Yue is technically your superior, and you just barged in without permission?"
Xu Mu propped his cheek on his hand, feigning composure.
"Feng Yue personally said we're close sisters. From now on, I can come straight into her office without asking," Mu Qingying glanced around and asked, "Where is she?"
"Stepped out to take a call," Xu Mu said flatly.
"Good, it's better she's not here."
Mu Qingying walked step by step to the desk.
Xu Mu's eyes narrowed—he'd been less tense facing death itself.
She pressed her hands onto the desk. From the slight bend in her waist, her cleavage seemed more pronounced, as if gravity itself was making it more restless.
"Why won't you admit it? You clearly like me. You used to give me flowers after work every day, now you've given me a job, entrusted me with so many Xu family business secrets, and even made me a legendary martial artist... Xu Mu, you have feelings for me, don't you?"
[Affection +20]
Xu Mu stared at the words that appeared above her head, completely dumbfounded. Was this woman... falling for him on her own?
He admitted Mu Qingying was stunning, and her figure was exactly his type.
But he honestly hadn't thought that way. The reason he'd hired her was simply because he'd spotted her at the market.
Recalling the plot, she was the one who would later manage Ye Chen's business empire flawlessly—he hadn't intended to claim her for himself.
"Why aren't you saying anything?"
Mu Qingying pouted slightly.
"I... ow!"
Xu Mu flinched suddenly. Clearly, this Feng Yue was asking for a beating.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Qingying looked at him curiously, then walked around the desk toward him.
ng to die together with you." Lin Xuan is dead, his body thrown into the river by his scumbag lover and her accomplice. She, the president of the Su Group, is decisive, ruthless, and ice-cold.
